About Day One Patch Podcast - The Finest Gaming Podcast
Day One Patch Podcast is a video game podcast that looks at each week's video game news and how it will affect the industry through our own opinions and experience.
Microsoft is shaking up Xbox once again, with major layoffs, studio restructuring, and Activision now taking charge of the next Halo game. We discuss what the move could mean for Halo and Xbox, look back at the legendary run of games from fall 2007, and break down Bungie’s plans to rebuild player trust by bringing vaulted Destiny 2 content back. Plus, Matt explores how PSP games were specifically designed for bite-sized, on-the-go play in this week’s Video Game Fun Fact.

Plus, Matt dives into the surprisingly impressive first-person shooters of the Game Boy Advance and explains how developers managed to get FPS games running on Nintendo's handheld.

Why Did Sony Drop Kojima’s Physint?
Hideo Kojima’s upcoming action-espionage game Physint is moving from PlayStation to Xbox after Sony reportedly dropped the project over missed deadlines and budget concerns. We discuss whether Sony made the right call, what the deal means for Xbox and Kojima Productions, and reports that Bethesda developers would have rather made The Elder Scrolls VI than Starfield. Plus, Matt brings us some bizarre snack-themed video games in this week’s Video Game Fun Fact, and we head to the Query Corner to ask: what will next-gen games actually look like?
